MESTAOUI was born in 1975 in Brussels, she has a diploma of Architecture
(LaCambre, Brussels). She used to work in the field of architecture and
urbanism dealing with technologies.
Yacine AIT KACI was born in 1973 in Paris and studied graphic
design, video
and multimedia (Ensad). He had a career in cultural multimedia as designer
and director (Le Louvre, DVD-Rom) and worked for the french television.
They both met in 2000 and decided to operate a fusion between
their fields of creation. Established in Paris in 2000, Electronic Shadow
is a hybrid design platform whose activity is based on research and innovation
on both the artistic and technological point of view (patented system based
on space/image projection).
This pluridisciplinary approach allows original propositions which merge
both space and image, material and light in the most diverse contexts from
art to architecture, design, scenography, ...
For about seven years, Electronic Shadow multiplies exhibitions (NY MoMA,
Centre Georges Pompidou, Musée d’Art Moderne de la ville de Paris, La Villette,
KunstlerHaus, Japan Media Art Festival Etc.) and creates applications from
this artistic research in many different fields : design (Giorgio Armani,
Cassina, Boffi, ...), museum scenography (Palais de la découverte, Cézanne
2006).
Electronic Shadow started in 2006 to explore live performance and stage
design with
a new kind of show, merging choreography and image, in collaboration with
the great choreographer Carolyn Carlson (Double Vision).
Electronic Shadow won several international awards, including in 2005
the Grand Prix of Japan Media Art Festival.
